    Phil Anselmo is on the record referring to Jimmy Bower as the Godfather of Southern Metal. Totally accurate. This man is a legend.

    The children of the future need guys like Jimmy Bower. He plays simple stuff with simple, cheap gear and has his own thing, that people have tried to emulate for over 30 years. If you can get a sound you like, it doesn't matter how much your gear costs, or what brand your pedals are.

  • @TheStrykerProject
    @TheStrykerProject ปีที่แล้ว +154

    Jimmy is the only dude with the guts to admit that a down tuned guitar is essentially a bass (and only needs four fricken strings!) Love how simple his rig is, man. NO B.S.

    • @StuartEWright
      @StuartEWright ปีที่แล้ว +15

      It's a real man's rig. When I saw them his main amp crapped out during soundcheck so his backup Randall was pulled out. There was no tweaking or anything, he was just like "does it work? cool" cranked up the gain and played a kickass show.

      Except it's not. And he didn't say that. A bass has a 34" scale length and is an entire octave lower than a guitar. Not just down tuned one or two steps. An entire octave lower and down tuned are two completely different things. He said that his guitar is Bassey. He did not say his guitar is a bass. And he said he only plays four strings because he couldn't control the last two from feedbacking. Which what he probably meant was ringing out. He never said "a detuned guitar was a bass". You came up with that completely by yourself and put those words in his mouth. And you are 100 miles off from reality. Again. Bass guitars aren't down tuned. They are a 34" scale length which makes them an entire octave lower than a guitar. It's a completely different instrument. And is just as dumb as if you said a down tuned violin is a cello. There's absolutely no friggin way you play guitar. At least play it well and have any type of musical education.

      @@worldssickestmedia2713 LOL...all true, except the last bit in which you try to insult me. I didn't mean to put words into his mouth, just reflecting on my thoughts that when a rhythm guitar is down-tuned low enough a bass becomes redundant. Also, I was actually trying to be funny, not serious. If comments like mine cause you to lose your shit, you should put some time and energy into therapy. Cheers

    Jimmy's setup sounds amazing, I just saw EHG a few months ago without their rhythm guitar player and I ran up to the stage as Jimmy was packing up to see what all pedals he was using and he turned around and showed me that Ampeg, after having just heard them play a set, I was truly amazed. I've seen him with the Randall too, it sounds almost identical and just killer, nothing but killin' tones. Jimmy is truly the man.

I'd say "I just plug into this shit and turn it on" some of the dudes that would ask me about it had all kinds of rack gear and processors....If it works for you, cool.
